RAPIError when creating partnership

[Iain Buchanan]

Hi again,

I've been working through some build problems, and I've now managed to
rebuild all synce and libopensync packages cleanly. These are the
version I'm using:

[IP-] [ ] app-pda/dynamite-0.1.1:0
[I-O] [ ] app-pda/libopensync-0.22:0
[IP-] [ ] app-pda/libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.22:0
[IP-] [ ] app-pda/libopensync-plugin-python-0.22:0
[IP-] [ ] app-pda/msynctool-0.22:0
[IP-] [ ] app-pda/orange-0.4:0
[I-O] [ ] app-pda/synce-hal-0.15:0
[I-O] [ ] app-pda/synce-librapi2-0.15:0
[IP-] [ ] app-pda/synce-librra-0.14:0
[IP-] [ ] app-pda/synce-librtfcomp-1.1:0
[I-O] [ ] app-pda/synce-libsynce-0.15:0
[I-O] [ ] app-pda/synce-sync-engine-0.15:0

now, when I try and create a partnership (all partnerships, msynctool
groups, and ~/.synce directory removed) I get this simple message:

$ create_partnership.py "Palm" "Contacts,Calendar"
Creating partnership...

error: failed to create partnership
error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.pyrapi2.RAPIError

I've attached the sync-engine.log if anyone is able to shed any light :)

many thanks,

[Iain Buchanan]

I set up a new user account, and I don't get this error, nor the
E_IS_CAL error I posted earlier. Strange. Any thoughts apart from
blowing away my home directory?

thanks :)

It's aliii-i-i-i-ive!

So, the RAPI error went after I rebooted my device.

The E_IS_CAL error went when I changed my default cal in evolution to a
local one, not a caldav one.

Then I got the TypeError in opensync... for which I had to apply the
patch from Mark in May, now that's gone.

And THEN I could sync.

phew. Only lost a few contacts in the process. Now to see if Gentoo
wants to release a new (old) libopensync...
